If Nwando Ebizie appears to be unlike any other artist out here today, it’s because she’s not. The musician, producer, dancer, DJ and performance artist is more like a renaissance woman whose experimental presentations have dazzled audiences not only in theatres but have also captured the ears of tastemakers like Gilles Peterson. Working under the moniker of Lady Vendredi, her work is a clashing of culture and sound topped with a dressing of afro-futurism.
There is something hypnotic about the voice of Leena Ojala. With a beautiful tone that is lifting, her power over the listener is like sonic voodoo. Musically varied, Ojala effortlessly glides over palettes of seductive electronica, alternative and deep pop like the strokes of a painter's brush.
Raised in Hong Kong and Essex, then making the trek to London in her late teens, Ojala dropped her 'EP1' record in late 2015 via 51Den Music. To describe it as marvelously gorgeous would be an understatement as the media instantly began top ranking her with popular artists such as Låpsley and more. Leena Ojala also proved that she was just as talented as a producer as she is a singer.

Mari Nordén aka Maja Skillz can be classified into many categories but at the end of the day, she is an all-around creative. The Olso-based singer, producer, artist and designer, who has morphed the sound of pop, electronica, trap and more, is creating truly exciting and brilliant music. Having been a part of the band Shy For Shore, her latest project finds her experimenting with vocal styles and textures like brush strokes on the palette, forming vivid pieces of fine art. The latest Maja Skillz release ‘FALL APRT’, is a documentation of a relationship gone awry, yet musically decorated with beautiful sonics of alt-pop, lush and rich. Expect a tidal wave of artistry in 2016 from the Norwegian mastermind.

If the key to success is hard work, then producer Joe Ashworth shall be rewarded tenfold. Whilst having built a reputation for pumping out release after release, the Londoner defies the quality over quantity rule, rather incorporating both with each single being an incredible and unforgettable piece of music.
Ashworth's brand of house and techno oozes with refinement and sophistication yet doesn't alienate dance floor patrons, which makes it highly understandable why he has been championed by the likes of Pete Tong, Maya Jane Coles and Laurent Garnier, just to name a short few. With tracks released on various labels including Native City, Ajunadeep, Arkhive, NeedWant, Sneaky and more, within a couple of years Ashworth's name has spread throughout the UK and into international territory.
